Last month, rival U.S. Senators Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) joked that the only thing they could agree about was the excitement of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

After all, Wilson played for the Wisconsin Badgers in college, and is now lighting up the NFL as the young starting QB of one of the league’s best teams.

On Friday, the day before the Seahawks battle the New Orleans Saints in a divisional playoff at CenturyLink Field, Murray presented Ryan with an autographed Wilson jersey. In return, Ryan gave Murray some Wisconsin kringle and some cheese.
